2.4 GENERAL INST ALLATION ON INSWI NG ING DOOR WITH Z BRACKET
In cases where th e Magnalock mu st be moun ted on th e in swinging side of th e door to p rotect it
from phys ic al assault, the magnet body is mou n ted flu sh on th e wall ab ove the door frame and
a "Z" bracket is affixed to the door which positions the strike in front of the Magnet (part # Z-32,
Z-62 or Z-82 with the suf fix “M” for metric) . The model 34 series is not off ered in a face
mount version. Securitron's "F" series Magnalocks are used, as they have mounting holes
through the face of the magnet and wire exit to the rear. Figure 5 shows this configuration.
Note that the model 62F has five mounting holes through the face. The “extra” hole is to
provide flexibility in mounting when the magnet b ody is p ositioned p artly on the t op of th e
door frame and partly on the wall. In that instance, it becomes possible to secure the model 62
magnet bod y with thr ee screws wh ich al l g o into t he fram e header (man y wal l types su ch as
sheet rock do not constitute a secure mounting substrate). Note that when the roll pin
bushings are used, they protrude through the Z bracket and interfere with the Z bracket cover.
If a Senstat lock is being employed, the roll pin bushings must be used to p rovide ins ulat ion.
They should be cut with a hacksaw to function in the bracket. If the lock is not Senstat, omit
use of the roll pin bushings and drill 3/8" (9.5mm) diameter holes for the roll p ins instead of
1/2" (12.7mm). Read sections 2.3, 2.3.1, and 2.3.2 for additional general information on
mounting.
